Michy Batshuayi: Chelsea forward signs contract extension but joins Besiktas on loan

Forward Michy Batshuayi has joined Turkish side Besiktas on loan until the end of the season after extending his contract with Chelsea until 2023.

It is the 27-year-old's fifth loan spell since joining the Blues in 2016.
